Sika Deer.
Canon 20D, Canon 100-400mm L I.S., 1/400 sec @ f5.6, Raw, iso 800,
Neatimage.
Gitzo 1548/B1.


Hi,

Thought I'd post this one as it was on screen ready to print.

Taken last month a few minutes after sunrise.

Thanks once again for the excellent help regarding my printing issue.
I thought this could be a tricky one to print with so many greens and browns in but thankfully it came out fine. :wavey:



All comments always welcome and appreciated.

The light looks great and the dof is quite surprising at F 5.6, also love the effect the light has on the small hairs on the antlers, like a halo.

Great capture.

Very pleasing light Justin. A good shot of the Sika with pristine antlers.

Well captured :toast:

I ran it through Neatimage.

The lens was closer to the short end rather than the long end,hence the extra depth of field.

Great shot Justin, with wonderful light. My only nit is that I think the butt competes a bit with head here :wink:

Lovely light, would agree with Helge about the butt/head and I would be half tempted to clone the straw over the body.

Hi Justin,

I agree with the nits but love the soft light as it gives great detail.

Regards Chris.

A beauty Justin,

Well up to your usual high standard :toast:

This is simply stunning. The warm rich colours, the "rim lighting" of the velvet of the antlers and the detail in the rest of the deer- all make for a cracking shot.

Well done.
